Dual Channel Chiller for Lasers
The HRL and HRLE are temperature control devices featuring two cooling channels in one package. These chillers are specifically designed to cool the optical head and oscillator of a laser processing system. Considerable space savings can be realized compared to a two chiller solution. Both types feature touch panels for operations, fan-cooled refrigeration circuits, and independent coolant ports for each laser component. The HRL has extensive standard features and targets large output lasers of 5kW or more. The HRLE is for medium output lasers of 3-4kW, with a patent pending simplified circuit design for a single tank and pump. The heating function uses waste heat from the refrigerant discharge instead of a separate electric heater to improve efficiency and reliabilty.
